"I stood there frozen and the creature was just staring back at me. And then everything is blank until I come running back into our trailer screaming that I'm in pain between my legs."
I received the following account:
"Hi. I'm a 52-year-old female, married with grown kids and five grandchildren. First of all, since this encounter, I have never forgotten it. Although exactly what happened is a mystery to me.
I was around age 6, and we lived in a trailer park in Greenville, South Carolina, in Mr. Hicums Trailer Park. This would have been about 1976 or 1977. All this information has been confirmed by my mom. It was a warm and sunny day. I was playing outside with my two older brothers. I was the youngest of three. It was a day like all the others, we were playing tag or hide and go seek. I went to hide. I ran around the back of our home. And suddenly I ran almost into a humanoid praying mantis.
At the time I thought it was a giant insect, I could not really comprehend what I was seeing. I felt like all the breath was taken from me. It was taller than my dad and it was standing next to our propane tank. Years later when I thought about it I told myself that maybe there was a gas leak. Anyway back to the mantis.
I stood there frozen in broad daylight and the creature was just staring back at me. And then everything is blank until I come running back into our trailer screaming that I'm in pain between my legs. My mother was so concerned that she pulled down my shorts and underwear to inspect me. She says nothing is wrong, and I go to sleep crying. This has always been with me. It and this praying mantis stay in the back of my mind. Then a few years ago I heard about this UFO sighting reported by the Highland, Illinois Police Department. Weird, I thought. we moved up there when I was 8 and moved back to South Carolina when I was 10 years old. I was telling my husband about this thing that happened when I was a kid.
We both laughed as I swore it really did happen. So I got curious and Googled the praying mantis aliens, and I remember it felt like I was punched in the stomach as I sat there looking at imagery exactly how I saw it over 30 years ago. I showed it to my husband and he was in shock.
I don't know what happened to me between my encounter and when I came running in screaming about burning down there. I had a real fear of monsters after that and a great deal of nightmares, but nothing like what I saw. It was all about bloody baby dolls inside plastic bags, scooting their plastic bodies around and down the hallways trying to get me.
Also, another recurring dream was a farmer-type man in overalls with a pitchfork walking by all my family members just to get to me. At the end of the dream, he would stab me in the chest. This dream started when I lived in Highland, Illinois. I never was able to give birth naturally either. I had to have C-sections.
My father passed away at the age of 38 from lung cancer, I was only 15. It has not been an easy life for me, but I'm a Christian and find comfort in God's word. I have tried to read more about this mantis humanoid creature and have not got a lot of info. Usually, when I'm reading about it, right before bed I fall asleep very quickly and get nowhere. I'm reaching out because I feel like this is really happening, and not just to me. It doesn't matter to me to get attention, via printing a story. I just want to know if you have heard of others like me? Sincerely. C"
NOTE: I'm sure the witness contacted me as a result of the Hackettstown, NJ encounters, but as far as possible physical contact, this may be a first for me. Most people who have encountered these beings experience headaches and mental distress. I mentioned to the witness to feel free to contact me if she wishes to disclose further information. Lon
